• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Oil change before winter storage or after ? Your thoughts?

    In his defense, he has always been a technical, mechanical kind of guy, and unfortunately last summer half his face was torn open by a huge dog, so his memory and aptitude seem to have taken a bit of a hit as well. He was just being a dear and helping me with a task. :cheers:

    Oil change before winter storage or after ? Your thoughts?

    Thanks for asking. In Canada, the typical answer is/was to change the oil (and add Stabil to the gas tank and top up the gas) before storing it for the winter. I've never put that many kms on my rides (25 years of 2 wheels), so I'm ok with only changing it before storing. Actually, just had a...

    Late to the party - need saddlebags for 2013 ST?

    Hi all, My BMW had great OEM hard bags on it and I'm looking for similar for the Spyder. Anyone have any for sale or could graciously point me in the right direction? :) I'm in Ontario, Canada, if that helps. Thank you! Jen

    Reverse gear won’t activate

    What I realized when I was having trouble getting into reverse on my ST, was that I wasn't doing it right! :dontknow: I thought all you had to do (when in N) was hold the clutch in and press the reverse button once for it to be activated, and then I would shift down. Well, it doesn't work that...

    ST Longest Ride Ever

    I've taken my ST for a 3+hr ride and have been amazed with how little pain I felt in the rump and back areas. :riding: If I went that long on my BMW F800ST, I'd be dying to get off it. :yikes:

    Fuel quantity remaining

    Edit: Sorry, didn't realize I was in the Ryker subforum. I don't have a Ryker. :roflblack: I've found that if I do that, I'm left two bars short on the fuel level indicator when I get back on to go. The first time this happened, I was like :gaah: Now, I'll raise the nozzle after it first clicks...

    July weather news

    Kingston, Ontario area: Too. Effing. Hot. Went for a ride on Friday, the display read 35C for a good part of the ride. This thing blocks the wind so well, even my hands were sweating (yes, I wear gloves). Had to peel my socks off when I got home (yes, I wear riding boots). Because I always wear...

    I have a pleasant problem

    I've been on 2 wheels for 25 years (a puppy compared to some of you!). I have a beautiful black 2011 BMW F800ST in my garage that is now for sale since deciding to go with 3. I love that bike, and it really was ME, but I got so tired of the uneasy feeling of moving it around and it threatening...

    Newbie confused about what kind of hard saddlebags& brackets to get and from where?

    Late to the game, but I am also looking to add bags to my 2013 ST. Can you remember which style/model of Mutazu bag you went with? I'm eyeballing the RS style in black...thanks!
